NBA's 10 Best Dunkers of All Time

Blake Griffin is quickly becoming one of the NBA’a premier players as well as one of it's great dunkers.

To become recognized as one of the greats of all-time though he’s up against some pretty stiff competition. Let's take a stroll down the NBA's Memory Lane and check out some of the players who have set the standard in the past.

#6 Daryl Dawkins

Most famous for his backboard smashing dunks, he was indeed perhaps the most powerful dunker of all time. Think Wilt Chamberlain but with much more showmanship (at least as far as dunking was concerned).

#4 Michael Jordan

MJ could easily be interchanged with any of the top three guys on my list and to tell you the truth I really couldn't argue with you. At this point your splitting hairs and it just comes down to a matter of personal taste.

Funny thing, each player has his own unique style to some extent but I can’t help but notice some similarities. To me the 2nd and 3rd guy on the list are pretty similar, while MJ reminds me most of the man at #1.

#2 Dominique Wilkins

I once spoke to an end of the bench teammate of his who swore his greatest dunks came in practice. He would marvel at how Wilkins could be fighting for a loose ball under the basket just a split second before jamming it home. For any other player just getting a handle on the ball was the goal, but Dominique would somehow go from getting the handle to slamming it in one continuous move. No running start, no clean lane, lots of congestion, but in a flash it was over. You were just dunked on.
